 This research paper uses a number of indicators to evaluate the environmental condition in Palestine, including the destruction of land and water, pollution, wastes, climate change, desertification, environmental variety, and energy use. The study concludes that it is difficult to use these indicators to evaluate environment in Palestine because of the political situation and the absence of Palestinian control over natural resources. The study includes important tables and maps.
